Good evening all. Newbie fruit wine maker here. I've started a Blackberry port recipe that I got from Jack Keller's website. Although I have several months to go before I'm supposed to bottle it, I'm starting to think about the "Red Grape Concentrate" that it calls for.
The recipe calls for "one cup" (I'm making one gallon), and the only thing I seem to find for concentrate is the 1 L Global Vinters box. I have two recipes that call for it, and it seems I'd have more leftover than I'd use. Are there any decent substitutes for it in recipes? It seems that Welch's concord grape concentrate wouldn't quite do it, but that's a guess.
Since I really want to make this gallon work (it was a lot of money spent on blackberries already) I know I should probably just suck it up and get the "real" concentrate. But I wanted to know if anyone has had good luck with substitutes for it.
Regards,
James
